fat32 was boot, ntfs has no recovery info. Older system (500MHz) I assume
first partition for OS but nobody even knows to install on D.
Hesitate to merge, delete D. Format reinstall better but not my call.
Thanks

I would also think that it is some sort of recovery partition. Very common
now to see NTFS partition and Fat32 partitions on Tier1 systems. Usually
the FAT32 partition will be hidden and it is actually the first partition
on the drive and the NTFS drive will be the working partition for XP or
Vista. 7.5gb of a 20gb drive though seems a bit wasteful.

Weird, got a Sony notebook in for service, full drive.
I free'ed up 1gb on the boot partition but further investigation shows
TWO
partitions on what looks like a 20gb drive with a 7,5gb FAT32 boot
partition and the rest NTFS
WTF. Hesitate to merge these partitions.
Curious why Sony did this.
